Nano costs 100,000 on road only. BUT BUT BUT it.s ON-ROAD price will be around 125,000 for the customer.
Considering Safety, Stability & power, I will NEVER NEVER trust Nano. If you compare Nano with Maruti-800, I think that Maruti-800 is Much more SAFER, more STABLE & more powerful than Nano. Nano is a pure compromise on saftey, road-handling & power. If price is the limiting factor then, I would STILL go for eiether an Alto or Maruti-800 or a second hand Indica.
Do you remember when Mr. TATA said "A promise is a Promise, we will sell the car for 100,000 only"........I think he has just used emotional statement for marketing of Nano.

Hey man, Do you know NANO has cleared all the indian safety tests (which is conducted at Government Test Lab at Pune or some more other places), and the test results were above standards....so you can be sure that Nano is safe,BUT IF YOU DON'T DRIVE SAFE EVEN BEST OF THE CLASS CAN CANNOT PROTUCT YOU!!!!! Remember Princes Diana..... Good luck Nano.....

I think it is perfectly OK if the price is even 1,50,000! Base Price 1,00,000. of course you have to pay taxes and other fees! Don't try to get that from Tata's pocket!

I do not agrees with this completely. This is for one who wants to have a trade off between safety & Budget..You cannot compare Nano with 800/Alto as it is almost the double the cost

Any car you hit will break, pretty simple. There is no safety unless everyone drives responsibly.

Can you please be more specific on the safety? Definitely on power (600cc instead of 800cc) which is OK... but safety wise it is no different from maruthi 800.. infact it is better in some aspects (it has reinforced bracets in the doors which 800 does not have).. neither of them have air bags or front impact test 100% covered..

mind it it is the car of TATA GROUP a company U can rel upon I hope U saw the paper tata capital raising 3000cr through ncd in this recession market where there is acute liquidity crisis this is trust
Everyone ... There may be 100s of disadvantages / safety risk / defaults with this car... But that is how technology grows, electric current is deadly dont we have it in our house and dont we use it on a daily basis the catch is how we use it and how careful we are ... This is an option for a family of four who commute by bike daily .. I hope every one agrees that its safer for 4 in a nano than a overloaded bike Evey vechiles have their own safety risk ... People have miss steped fallen on their head and died dose that mean you wear metal helmets ??? ... I know how safety concious people are when you see them on their bikes ...and dont crap this message board with all your intelectual fault findings ... Look at the bright side

Can't understand when people like you generally quote safely risk.. are you comparing this with Honda City or maruthi 800. It is as good or better than Maruthi 800 (remember 800 was designed in early 80s that too from japanese version of alto)

Did you even read the message to which you replied? The original message by Leoorn was saying exactly what you are saying - that safety is relative.
Another hype like the so called 10 dollar laptop, its just not feasible to have a price tag of 2000 dollars, unless you have a 100 cc engine and a box of tin on top of that.

How do you know it is not feasible...List out all the parts that are used in a Nano car with their price tag,add other costs...And show us that it exceeds 1 lakh...We wont accept this comparision with 100cc and tin etc etc...And there is a diff between 10 dollar lappy by some instis and a thousands of crores invetment project...
On a serious note, yeah its a momentous occasion for India's own Henry ford, Mr Tata. Hope the competitors - car and bike manufacturers-don't try to drum up more trouble via Trinamul.

Sorry, but the international community has something called the "Crash Safty Norms" which are not yet implemented in our Country, thanks to all the cash hungry Govts. and the capitalist lobbies.

Do they have this crass safty norm in Pakistan,Uganda,Bangladesh etc...International community for you starts at US and ends at UK isnt it...Why do you think that all our products should impress the western world...There is a huge International market for NANO if you read the world map again...

I think nano will become more popular that maruti cause this is cheaper . Person who buys scooter or bike for 50000 now can buy this car for 100000, but what about the traffic. let see and watch gurmukh singh mohali now in sydney
Re: East or West Nano is Best
by Asif Ali on Feb 26, 2009 07:42 PM Permalink
gurmukh sing jee pajee, u r right, but the price for base model is 126000.00, and if you added accessories like lpg/cng, music sys,a/c, it will go to 180000.00.
Secondly, except some major cities, road are very narrow in india and the is 'traffic sence' is seems weak in india.

The on road cost of nano non a/c will be around 1.3 lakhs and a/c will be around 1.6 lakhs
Important question is--- Is nano is a good product?? according to me is it not safe as like other cars (means body structure)and after that the main problem ,that we all r facing is traffic (no matter u r rich or not).....so i believe that car does exist but in a certain range(not like that everyone purchase). and i also feel the emotions of middle class becoz i m too.but car is a dream of middle class.so its a very debating topic..but we all r knw that Ratan tata only deals wid his profits and will nt thk abt traffice probn all.becoz they also thk ki yeh to govt ko sochna hai...

We are paying lot of money to govt in form of taxes and govt is responsible to do arrangements to reduce traffic (like fly overs, alternate roads etc). When a company get profits, it can generate more employment. Nano will generate more employment. I hope you got my profit.
Re: Re: Is Nano is a Good product??
by jaideep singh on Feb 26, 2009 07:00 PM Permalink
Employment??, dont you think of the Traffic Problem, Parking Problem, Pollution and Accident Rates. The small increase in Employment, that you are thinking of, will it be able to justify the increase in the problems, mentioned above.

That case should not we ban all the cars and vehicles and introduce cycles..Why only a certain part of society will ride cars while others risking their life in Bikes...For you people who do not have lots of money to buy expensive cars do not have a right to enjoy life..isnt it??And what is this about Tata solving traffic problem rather than making profit..How old are you??get a life dude...

Firstly the car is not only meant for India, but for TATA's various export markets. --so traffic though will increase, it will not eqult to the total proudtion.Regarding saftey,it has alreadey been undergoing impact tests etc ( the tests on side impact took 6 months to complte)

Jaipdeep think positively! Yaar, if the car will be small, the roads can accomodate more cars and since the car is small, it will give more milage! Cheer up buddy, everything will be fine as soon as Nano rolls out!

do you know if all the ppl riding bikes start driving cars, what will become of all the roads, we already face so many traffic jams, and the pollution with it will also increase. BTW a car will consume more fuel than a bike or a scooter, and so pollute more as well.

@Jaydeep, Do you mean M800, Alto, Santro and other cars are safe? In case of accident, it depends on opposite vehicle, Angle (how the opposite vehicle is crashed) and lots of other parameters.. Do you think other cars are as safe as tanks? This car is for city traffic and you wont it drive it @80 or 100 KMPH..
Re: Re: Is Nano is a Good product??

Safety is relative, will a plastic car, that is comparable to an Auto in size, survive even a small bump from even an Auto. As a matter of fact a lot of ppl who will buy a Nano will be "First Time Drivers", and they will surely contribute to the accidents more than other factors. About Safety, I think a Alto will be surely safer than a Nano, in any accident, as its has a lot more metal, and the rigidity of metal is surely more than that of plastic, according of Physics, if you are familiar with it and automobiles. Also If you remember the accident stats when Maruti 800 was launched, with Nano being more in the reach of common ppl, think what the stats will be.

Dear Jaideep, Tata are different. they wanted this plant to be in W.B for the development of the state. Tata's have always been in to business that did good to the country. profit have never been there first priority. and you don't spend a day without using some thing that is not made by Tata. that is the reason that they are the most respected business house in India.

singh is king necessary outer part made are metal, and hand and best quality fiber. safty- for such small and nazook cars, it has to be driven very carefully and creating trafic sence among mass is very necessary. Driving licence process should be strong and on merit basis, and traffic control dpt must not leave unlicensed driver.
